I have a Quadro in a mac for working with 3d apps and I can say it pays by itself once the performance raises. For gaming it’s not worth it. According to http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/quadro-fx-4800,2258-10.html memory bandwith is not the most important thing in these cards netkas 😉 The PC version of the card is priced at $1570, it is more expensive the mac version, as usual.

Hi,
I have a question netkas, altough I understand you perhaps don’t know exactly the answer what’s your intuition about (sorry if I am a newbie in Hackintosh):

Will other GT200b cards work?
This means if putting somewhere deviceid’s of cards don’t directly sopported by the driver (kernel extension in Mac world..) will do the job.. I’m thinking of a thing like is possible in Windows modifing a INF file for supporting new cards..

specifically I’m interested in either a GTX275 or GTX 295..
Will also the memory of the card affect the possibility of not being supported (I’m thinking about a GTX275 1792mb by EVGA)..
I have seen reports of dual GTX 280 working in Snow Leopard (by AquaMac) using GFXStrings and also 9800GX2 working in Leopard..
so with GT200 drivers in Leopard and GFXStrings seems doable a GTX295 to work..
Keep in mind that a is a rather special GT200b implementation (a mix of a GTX 280 with 240 shaders but with gtx 260 memory bandwith)..

Also I think all the rivatuner abilities for modding a card are limited to pre G80 cards.. I currently own a 8800GT and tried to mod them without succes after much reading about the topic. Please correct if I’m wrong..

oscarbg : as usual Apple will put all GT200 product id in it, you shouldn’t have to modify anything to make a GTX200 card working… Just my opinion but it shouldn’t differ much than Snow Leopard once we get the kexts

Netkas, this is false, you can’t convert with rivatuner since 6800gt.
Yes it can convert the ID and you can see the name, but you can’t obtain the quadro capabilities.
You can see it here: http://forums.guru3d.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18, and you can ask for it.
Greetings.
